Anton and Bruce,

    No need to be unAmerican. Mort Benson has put out at least

one, and I think possibly several, Combinatory Dictionaries with a

publishing co. called BBI, I think. I believe they're good old

red-meat-and-jello American English-oriented (just to work in the

now-obligatory food reference)...

    I suppose if he hadn't I could say "One needs put out".

Does that sound acceptable to "needs+p.p." users? it doesn't to me,

but then I'm not one...
